I haven't seen the trees, no. I think the money could be better spent on some of the roads in Selangor - I've seen a dad on a motorbike with his daughter ditch hard into a massive pothole on the roads there. They do look pretty, granted.

We are part of the 5 powers defense agreement with Australia, you guys have a joint airbase with us here (run by an Australian CO). We're military allies, so nobody is invading you. Unfortunately, accidents happen - it is a sad case to hear a kid got killed like that. However, a child dies every 6 seconds on our planet, most of these go unreported. It's a fact of life that this happens, and the kid being Malaysian doesn't really add or detract from the news.
